FAQ
What is Signal Run about?
You raid a derelict yard, grab salvage from the wreckage, and hold the exit pad to get out. It is a shooter with adventure threads, so you fire at threats in your way while you explore.
How does a round end?
Once you have grabbed the salvage you want, you head for the exit pad and hold it. Holding the pad is part of leveling up, and it finishes the run.
What are the Human, Alien and Robot upgrades?
As you level up, you pick from Human, Alien and Robot upgrades. Each choice shapes how your character develops, so you can build it in more than one direction.
Is Signal Run a shooter or an adventure game?
It is both. The store page describes it as a shooter with adventure threads, mixing shooter action with exploration of the derelict yard.
How do I control the game?
You move through the yard, grab salvage, fire at threats, choose upgrades, and hold the exit pad. The store page does not list the exact keys or touch controls, so the in-game prompts show you what to press.
